A personal note from Debby

It sure doesn't seem like it should be 2018 already! But it is, so here we go - moving forward with great anticipation.

​2017 was quite an eventful year in the Scherer household. Two REALLY big events stand out.

1) We built our retirement home next door to our son and daughter-in-law in Bennettsville SC. By we, I mean John. We did design it together. Then he drew the plans and constructed it himself with only a little help here and there. We moved in October 1, 2017 and LOVE it!

2) I was faced with a physical challenge early in the year when diagnosed with early stage breast cancer. Surgery was successful and after a period of recovery, I'm glad to report I've just passed my 1-year cancer free milestone.

​I am praising God on both counts. I am truly blessed and very thankful for a God that sees us through good times and bad.
